“Scientists were today able to dispel the age-old belief that no two snowflakes are the same, using state of the art microscopy and by catching flakes as they fell in specially designed equipment while sitting at a table outside a pub in Norwich.

Truth is, I’d be really happy for Mike’s team if they got to make a lot of money from a sale to AOL.
But, personally, I wouldn’t mind seeing TechCrunch join CompuServe.
